Brûle!

Brûle, 2006, is a video work shot in the streets of Oporto at the time serious riots were taking place in the outskirts on main cities in France that resulted in many burnt cars. The characters in the video imitate the gestures of the French turmoil in an extremely subtle way, repeating the child game of blowing breath to write on glass the word “Brûle!” (Burn!). A minor intervention, that fades away during the day but comes back at right humidity conditions and stays until the glass is inexorably cleaned up.
